Nice to see you Well , on top the norm , you know , wife and kids and work , I ’ Ve actually gotten into doing some trading .   Trading ? You , big guy ? What are you trading ?   Currencies .   Currencies ? As in Euros , Dollars , Pounds and Rupees ?   It ’ s called Forex . Foreign Exchange . The great thing about it is that I don ’ t have to invest a huge amount . I put in a margin deposit and then I can buy and sell up to 100 times that much !   I don ’ t understand . You ’ re buying and selling money ?   You got it ! Just last night I made USD 150 !   Last night ?   Yeah ! It ’ s a 24 hour market ! I had bought some RIB earlier at a low asking price but last night it appreciated drastically so I made a split second decision and sold all my RIB at an amazing bid ! I ’   You ’ re kidding ! I ’ m on ! Where do I sign up ?
